EnglishFill in the Blanks
- Adrawn
- Bslipped
- Cpercolated
- Dcrept
Explanation
The idiom is that the benefits of economic growth 'percolate' down to the lowest level: 'percolate' means to spread slowly through something. 'Drawn' and 'slipped' do not convey this gradual spreading, and 'crept' suggests stealthy movement rather than diffusion. Hence option (c) is correct.
